Master of Mathematical Modelling specialisation in Mathematical Modelling

A specialisation is a focused collection of courses within a programme that allows you to gain deep, targeted knowledge in a specific sub-field. Normally these courses make up more than 50 percent of a qualification, some of which lead to registration within a certain field. They may be interdisciplinary, professionally oriented, or designed to meet accreditation requirements. Specialisations often restrict elective choice in favour of a clearly defined study plan.

Completed specialisations will appear on your academic transcript.

Please see the main programme link below for further details.

The Mathematical Modelling programme is a cross-faculty collaboration between the Department of Mathematics in the Faculty of Science and the Department of Engineering Science in the Faculty of Engineering and Design. Its focus is on advanced mathematical and computational techniques required for modelling real-world phenomena such as transport over networks, epidemics, or climate change. This programme will deepen your theoretical understanding of mathematical models and their implementation, providing you with the expertise to transform a multidimensional real-world problem into a set of equations you can analyse with advanced theoretical and computational tools. You will learn to construct and use mathematical models to help solve questions ranging from the effects of global climate change to planning infrastructure, predicting financial fluctuations, managing disease epidemics, or designing better systems of healthcare and health equity.
